PLUS-500-I03-160617

Induction Zone: After use, switch off the hob element by its control and do not rely on the pan detector.

During cooking, food naturally produces steam, which is vented away to prevent excessive build-up within the ovens. As steam can condense to water droplets on the cooler outer trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven exterior by cooking vapours.

SPACING AND DIMENSIONS.

Fig. 3 Plus-500 Cooker Dimensions

All dimensions are in mm

Page 9

PLUS-500-I03-160617

The cooker is not to be grouted or sealed at the back or sides of the worktop as if any maintenance is required the cooker will have to be pulled away from the wall at the rear. This is to allow the cooker top to be lifted.

The cooker weighs 99kg and so the floor must be capable of withstanding the load.

Make sure the cooker is level, use packing pieces if necessary.

We ask that a 3mm gap is provided between the cooker top plate any adjoining non-combustible work surfaces that may be fitted, this is to allow for the safe removal of the top plate should this be required at a later date. If the adjoining work surfaces are combustible, a 20mm gap is required.

It is not recommended that any wall cupboards are fitted above the cooker as steam may cause damage.

Before using your cooker remove plastic protective covers from inner door panels; lift up lids and hinge covers.

WARMING/SLOW COOK OVEN.

The oven works with a simple on/off switch with one element heating both the top and bottom chamber.

When the Plus-500 HT (Hot Top) specification is selected, a 50 watt stick on element is attached to the underside of the aluminium plate. This is wired in to the Warming/Slow cooking element and is activated and deactivated at the same time as the oven element.

When fitting oven shelves, ensure that the shelf is orientated as shown in fig 6. The oven shelf has two raise loops at the back that act as a stop so as to prevent the shelf from accidentally tipping when partially extended.

Fig 6: Fitting an oven shelf

The slow cook oven is intended for slow cooking items such as casseroles, joints of meat, etc. Your slow cook oven is capable of cooking a complete meal; for instance – casserole, rice pudding and jacket potatoes – or just warming the dishes (use only heat resistant dishes).

Page 13

PLUS-500-I03-160617

Points to remember when slow-cooking:

• Preheat the oven before starting to cook.

• Do not allow dishes to touch the heating elements either side of the

oven.

• Bring casseroles, soups etc. to the boil on the hob before placing into a suitable casserole dish for slow cooking.

• Make sure that casseroles have sufficient liquid, particularly when cooking over a long period.

• Use lids on casseroles or foil to cover food whilst it is cooking to retain

moisture.

• Make sure all dishes will fit into the oven before preparing the food.

• Wrap washed and pricked jacket potatoes in foil before cooking.

• Make sure that meat and poultry reach a safe temperature before

eating.

• Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.

Your slow cook oven is also useful for warming plates and serving dishes (use only heat resistant dishes).

You can cook a fruitcake in the slow cook oven (if perhaps your other ovens are in use).

You can also produce crisp, white meringues cooked in the slow cook oven.

Timings for cooking in the slow cook oven will depend upon the quantity and type of dish you are cooking.

Keep an eye on the food until you are familiar with the oven.

PLUS-500-I03-160617

INDUCTION ZONE

Induction cooking is a safe, efficient and economical cooking method. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than traditional electric hob technologies that indirectly heat though a glass surface or metal plate. As a result of the induction technology, the glass surface only heats up due to heat transfer from the pan.

Fig 7 Induction Cooking

Before using the induction zone, read this guide, taking special note of the ‘safety warnings’ section.

Choosing compatible Cookware

Induction hobs require cookware that is magnetic. New pans suitable

for induction cooking will be marked ‘Induction’ or with the symbol

shown in fig 8. These can be easily checked with a magnet.

Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan, see Fig. 8.

Fig. 8

Page 15

PLUS-500-I03-160617

• Most homes will already have cast iron or stainless steel pans that will be suitable. You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.

• Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware. Some aluminium pans available have a magnetic core inserted in the base which will make them suitable. Esse do not recommend these pans as they have been known to cause issues with induction hobs.

Pans should have a thick flat base. Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.

Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. For the Ø210 ring Pots less than Ø130 mm could be undetected by the hob and for the Ø145 rings pots less than Ø90mm may be undetected.

You can use multiple pans on the induction zone, but one pan must always be covering the centre of the glass.

Fig. 9

Fig. 11

Fig. 10

Page 16

PLUS-500-I03-160617

Always lift pans off the induction hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

Using your Induction Hob

The induction hob has 3 rings or burners. Two are Ø145mm with 1.6kW

elements and one Ø210mm ring or burner with a 2kW element.

Fig. 13

Fig. 12

Page 17

PLUS-500-I03-160617

The induction is controlled via User Interface (UI) shown in Fig 5. The set power level, any error codes and any selected functions are displayed on the induction status display, shown Fig 5.

Each induction zone has 9 power settings, a timed full power boost setting (P) and a timer function. The induction unit is set to work on a 13 Amp plug and is limited to 2800w maximum. Each zone will still work to its maximum power setting, including the power boost functions. However each time the user tries to increase the power, the total power level of the cooktop is calculated. If this total power level is greater than the cooktop power limit, the power increase is not allowed. An error beep sounds and the heater display shows an ‘r’ for 3 seconds.

User interface initial calibration.

The User Interface has implemented an initial keyboard calibration focused to adapt the sensibility of the keys, to the final mechanical, environmental and user conditions. Any time the Cooktop is plugged in or there is a power failure that generates a reset in the user interface, the first time the Key Lock is touched the sensitivity of the keyboard is readjusted. This first touch of the Key Lock must be done in certain conditions: Do not use gloves, Use a clean finger.

Initial Light Conditions

When power is initially applied to the Cooktop, the touch control conducts a calibration process for the touch keys, which requires a low level of ambient light in the area of the touch keys. If during this calibration process excessive ambient lighting is detected the User Interface displays "FL" (Infrared Ambient Light Error) and the control calibration process is suspended. In order to rectify the process any lighting that could affect the calibration process should be switched off (e.g. halogen cooker hood lighting). The error will disappear when satisfactory ambient lighting is detected and the touch control calibration procedure will now complete satisfactorily.

Notes:

1) The "FL" error can only be generated within approximately 3s of initial power being applied to the cooktop.

2) We recommend that the user switches off all cooker hood lighting and any lighting directed towards the cooktop when power is initially applied to the cooktop.

3) After the touch control has conducted its initial calibration process, (approximately 3s) any cooker hood or other lighting can be switched on as normal and will not affect the operation of the touch control.

Switching On/Off the Cooktop

The cooktop is switched ON by touching the [ON/OFF] key for 1 sec. A beep sounds and all the heater displays show the digit point.

Fig. 16

If the selection of a heater is not done in 10 seconds, the cooktop will be turned off automatically.

The cooktop is switched OFF by touching the [ON/OFF] key for 1 sec. An [OFF_SOUND] sounds and all the heaters are switched OFF. The purpose of these [OFF_SOUND] is to distinguish the OFF action over all others.

When the cooktop is OFF, after 5 sec without any error/alarm to display and without any message to indicate (residual heat), the control switches off the (KEYLOCK LED) in order to reduce as much as possible the power consumption. As soon as we touch a key, the (KEYLOCK LED) goes ON and we can continue to operate us normal unlocking the keyboard if necessary and touching the [ON/OFF] key to switch ON the cooktop. The (ON/OFF) key will be locked to switch ON the cooktop if the key lock is activated (KEYLOCK LED on) or if there is any appliance error.

INDUCTION SAFETY POINTS:

 If the Induction zone glass is cracked or broken the cooker

MUST NOT BE CONNECTED and no part of it may be used. Switch off and unplug the appliance to avoid possibility of electric shock.

 Do not place or leave any magnetisable objects (e.g. credit

cards, memory cards) or electronic devices (e.g. computers, MP3players) near the appliance, as they may be affected by its electromagnetic field.

 Never use the appliance as a work or storage surface.

CARING FOR YOUR ESSE COOKER.

Your Esse cooker is very easy to keep clean.

Splashes and spills on the vitreous enamel should be wiped away as soon as possible, using a damp soft cloth. Micro-fibre cloths are especially good for this. Never use a cold wet cloth on any enamelled surfaces as the thermal shock can cause crazing.

If spills have become baked on to the enamel, use soap filled pad, not too coarse, so as to avoid scratching enamel. DO NOT use oven cleaners.

Likewise the inner door panels can be cleaned with a cream cleanser or for more stubborn marks, a soap filled pad. The linings will show marks and discolour with use, but with regular cleaning will maintain its look for longer.

The handrail can be cleaned with a damp soapy cloth, followed by a wet cloth, finishing by polishing with a clean dry cloth.

The enamelled surfaces can be cleaned with glass cleaner to help get a good streak free shine. Any spillage of milk or fruit juices on to the enamelled surfaces must be wiped up straight away, as the acidity may stain the front.

Page 32

PLUS-500-I03-160617

Some components such as the side panels are powder coated (painted) and nothing abrasive should be used on them. Use a soap filled pad instead.

If the cooker is finished in the ‘Matte Black’ painted finish, additional

care must be taken not to use any chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Use a light brush or lint free cloth instead.

If the cooker is not going to be used for an extended period of time, we advise that the cooker be cleaned thoroughly and the doors left slightly ajar.

During the life of your cooker it may be necessary to adjust the door handles and change the door ropes. The door handles can be adjusted using the adjustment screw on the lift up latch part of the handle. A video on how to adjust the door handle is on the Esse TV section of

www.esse.com. Replacement door ropes can also be purchased form www.esse.com

EXTRACTION.

An extractor may be used with this appliance. See your local Esse dealer or www.esse.com for details.

Your ESSE is guaranteed against defects arising from faulty manufacture for 2 years when supplied by an ESSE Specialist.

Upon registration of the warranty, ESSE will extend the guarantee period to 5 years from purchase. Your details must be registered with us by either returning the completed warranty card or by completing registration on-line at www.esse.com.

The appliance must be only used for normal domestic purposes and in accordance with our instructions, be correctly installed and serviced.

The guarantee does not cover:

Installation Wear and tear Parts deemed to be replaceable or service parts replaced in the normal usage of the appliance. Enamel damage caused by impact, spillage, water ingress or condensate attack from flue or by using unsuitable fuels.

This guarantee is personal to the original purchaser and not transferable.

Any stove or defective part replaced shall become the Company’s

property

INTERMITTENT USE OF YOUR COOKER

In the event of intermittent use and prolonged shutdown, it should be noted that in some circumstances enamel may be displaced due to ingress of damp. Whilst this is rare, it is most likely to occur in situations where the unused cooker remains in an unheated property. There is a layer (known as the ground coat) between the vitreous enamel surface and the cast iron. Ground coat is porous and if exposed (e.g. after a chip in the vitreous enamel coat), may allow damp to penetrate behind the

Page 34

PLUS-500-I03-160617

vitreous enamel and spread through the ground coat. Surface oxidisation of the cast iron may thereafter occur, causing the vitreous enamel to fall off. Such damage will not be covered by your warranty. We recommend that a light coating of petroleum jelly be applied to any damaged areas when the cooker is not in use to help keep out the damp, in addition to following the ‘caring for your Esse cooker’ instructions on page31.

CUSTOMER CARE

In the event you should require spare parts, please order through your ESSE dealer or by contacting Esse via telephone (01282 813235) or our website, www.esse.com.

Should you have cause for dissatisfaction with your cooker, you should contact your ESSE dealer, who will, in most instances, be able to offer

you immediate assistance. You will be required to give the following details.

 Your name, address and postcode.  Your telephone/contact details.  Clear and concise details of the fault.  Model and serial number of the cooker (found on the inside panel of

the bottom right hand oven door).

 Purchase date (please note that a valid purchase receipt or

guarantee documentation is required for in-guarantee service calls). We will then check that we have an accurately completed warranty card, if not then any work carried out may be charged.

We will assess the nature of the complaint and either send replacement parts for your dealer to fit, send an engineer to inspect & report, or send an engineer to repair. If the fault is not actually due to faulty workmanship but some other cause such as misuse or failure to install correctly, a charge will be made to cover the cost of the visit and any new parts required, even during the warranty period. Home visits are made between 08.30-1700 hrs Monday to Friday, and are arranged for either a morning or afternoon appointment.
